Today is the 25th February 2010 . Haven't been blogging lately because i'm so caught up with exams and jobs .

I started working at Penny Black pub and things are still smooth so far, except i don't think i will work for long there . There are tonnes of things to remember and excellent product knowledge is expected with daily tests during meetings . What's in the caesar salad ? What are the difference between liquors and aperitifs ? What is in each cocktail and how much shots are given ?

Every single detail is expected to be at finger tips within 3 ( three ) weeks . Thereafter, a test will be taken and if results shown fail, management will discuss for further employment .

How am i suppose to know so much when : -

1. I'm a slow learner .

2. I only work on weekends .

3. I work day shifts when there's no heavy crowds .

I really wonder . Doesn't matter if i fail, i could work on more days at Black Angus . =) .

Collecting pay at My Mom's Cuisine was a pain in the ass . Fucked up accountants and boss of a kind so worse i think she's the worse lady i met working at management level . Completely worse till the moment i think of her, the next image i see is dirt, garage and china man . Why china man ? Simple, she had her kitchen 2 china cooks and 1 china dishwasher because she's cheap . 5 bucks an hour and she expects fine dining table side service when she don't even provide the simplest hand soap for staffs to sanitize their hands . Pathetic .

That's why i had the strong urge to quit after working for only 6 days . And the reason i gave to quit pulled it off nice and smooth . 6 days pay hadda be split into two cheques . I collected the first cheque today . 45 bucks . How amazing, isn't it ?

Maybe she's just not made for entrepreneurship perhaps ? I think she's suitable for server job like me . She does it pretty well . Poor thing, she'll have to watch how other neighboring restaurants have full house on weekends, and how empty her restuarants on weekends . Oh boy, go to mommy now and cry .

I'm being bad here, but i've never been so pissed for a long time .

I do hope my Black Angus pay is sufficient to pay my $250 debt . And the remaining $300 payment to be made to the travel agency, i guess i'll just have to source again . I think this time, Hong Kong trip will be a see-no-touch-thing . No shopping either, just plain exploring . It's saddening, but it doesn't seem to me that i have a choice . But going overseas with best of friends, i think it's worth it even though i'll have to borrow money from someone and look as if i'm a pauper or beggar .

Alright, nights for now . Revision tomorrow morning with best of friends at Esplanade . =)
